Afghanistan (bvnr) vs Pakistan (rizzyx) - Asia Cup ODI - Colombo
Pakistan and Afghanistan got the Asia cup under way on Friday night. Pakistan won the toss and put Afghanistan in to bat knowing that the trend has favoured the side chasing to go on and win the match.
Afghanistan struggled to get going and were undone by a spectacular spell from Abdul Razzaq who got figures of 22/5 from his 5 overs. Afghanistan were bowled out for 118. The score was a modest one and you would expect Pakistan to chase it down without any trouble. It was not to be so, in fact Afghanstan had Pakistan at the brink of being humiliated when they were restricted to 32/7. Afghanistan banked on the medium pacers and fast medium pacers and they posed many problems to the Pakistan top order. However captain Shahid Afridi and Mohammad Sami bought Pakistan back into the contest with a 8th wicket partnership of 43. Still the game was for anyone to take when the partnership was broken with the key man Afridi back in the shed and the score at 75/8. Sami went on to build another valuable partnership of 31 with Wahab Riaz, leaving 12 to win for the last pair, and the last pair crossed the line giving Pakistan a very narrow 1 wicket victory. Afghanistan played some brilliant cricket and will feel hard done not to have gone on to win after having Pakistan 32/7.
Scores:
Afghanistan: 118/10 (20.3 Overs)
Pakistan: 119/9 (23 Overs)
Result: Pakistan won by 1 wicket.
MOM: Abdul Razzaq
